@WhiteNoise this is part of (or at least similar to) a larger problem of taps not registering properly in the tablet interface. It also happens in the ribbon.
It’s been around for a while but AFAIK this is the first bug report about it (I’ve been meaning to post one). There’s this unresolved Help post from April:
I didn’t see it at the time but I do now. I believe the problem with tabs is more recent but am not totally sure.
There’s also this more recent thread with more people, which also links to a Discord convo.
I can’t upload video here but I’ll get it to you on Discord. It’s video of the tabs problem; I wasn’t able to capture the ribbon problem this time — it doesn’t happen every single time (the tabs problem is more consistent, and as I write this I’m starting to think more that they might just be similar problems, not actually related.)
Here is a video showing this. I couldn’t get the “pointer” to show up in the video, but when you see the tab background color change is the first touch.
